Iran’s head of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, says Iran will respond to any attack on its infrastructure and that Israel would be included in any retaliation. In statements carried by Iranian state television, Zolghadr links the warning to renewed fighting between Iran and the United States this week, describing it as the most significant exchange of fire since a June 17 memorandum of understanding intended to formalize an April ceasefire and guide talks. The U.S. says it carried out heavy strikes overnight between Wednesday and Thursday, targeting 90 military sites. Iran accuses the U.S. of also targeting civilian infrastructure, alleging the strikes are intended to distract from events surrounding late supreme leader Ali Khamenei. Across the reports, Iran’s position is that infrastructure attacks will trigger retaliatory action and that Israel will not be spared, while the U.S. frames its operations as military targeting. The statements reflect continuing tensions following recent resumption of exchanges between the two countries.
